General

Hi guys,

How would you tackle setting up a blog with Modx without Articles and Quip? Which alternative extra’s are there possibly?
Interested in following this tutorial as well: https://docs.modx.com/current/en/building-sites/tutorials/creating-a-blog

I use Articles, but Collections is a popular alternative.

Well, articles gives too many errors on my site, especially Quip…

I’m using both Articles and Quip and the only errors I ever see are harmless ones that have to do with the page navigation, and I don’t see them very often. I think they result from having having articles with page nav links to articles that aren’t published yet. They have no effect in the front end, as far as I can tell.

How do you use Collections to set up a blog? Anyone experience with that?

I never use Articles or Collections.
I just use getResources.
You can get very fancy once you understand it.
Here’s how it turned out

well, collections is just a way to have your resources better organized in the manager.
Instead in the resource - tree, as a table.

You still use getResources, or pdoResources or whatelse to fetch that resources for the frontend.
